The Gt 500 Industrial Fog Fan stands as a premier solution for a multitude of industrial and commercial needs, ranging from precise interior humidification to effective evaporative cooling and specialized chemical fogging applications. Engineered for versatility and durability, the GT 500 is designed for straightforward installation and robust performance in demanding environments, whether inside greenhouses or in outdoor settings.
This industrial-grade fog fan utilizes a centrifugal atomizer, featuring an innovative rear-feed blade system. This design is crucial for generating billions of ultra-fine, fog-like particles that ensure rapid evaporation. A key feature of the GT 500 is its hydrophilic front guard. This thoughtful addition actively wicks away excess moisture, significantly reducing floor dampness and maintaining safer, drier working environments. Operators can easily adjust the fogging output to meet specific needs, thanks to a user-friendly flowmeter. Furthermore, the GT 500 offers flexible feeding options, accommodating metering pumps or gravity feed systems for diverse operational setups.
The GT 500 Direct-Feed model arrives as a comprehensive package, complete with 30 feet of water line, a standard garden hose connector for easy integration with existing water sources, 16 feet of drainage line, and a selectable flowmeter panel. Installation is simplified with options for hanging the unit via a single U-bolt or a universal mounting bolt, ensuring adaptability to various facility structures.
Key Features of the GT 500 Industrial Fog Fan:
- OSHA Compliant Safety Guards: Prioritizing workplace safety, the GT 500 is equipped with OSHA-standard safety guards.
- High Fogging Output: Capable of achieving up to 6 Gallons Per Hour (GPH) of fogging output, providing substantial humidification or cooling.
- Significant Evaporative Cooling: Delivers up to 46,500 BTU/hr of evaporative cooling, making it an energy-efficient cooling alternative.
- Adjustable Pivot Fogging Head: The pivot fogging head allows for directional fogging, optimizing coverage and application.
- Extended Power Cord: Comes with a 15-foot power cord and plug for flexible installation.
- Energy Efficient Operation: Designed for minimal energy consumption, reducing operational costs while maintaining high performance.
- Ready to Use: The GT 500 arrives fully assembled, minimizing setup time and allowing for immediate operation.
Precision Flowmeter Control Panel
Each GT 500 direct feed unit includes a selectable flowmeter control panel, a critical component for managing water flow and fogging output. These panels are constructed from durable stainless steel and feature a transparent polycarbonate flow rate scale, enabling precise monitoring and adjustments. The flowmeters are designed to operate with a water supply pressure ranging from 10 to 100 PSI, accommodating standard industrial water systems.
An important aspect of the flowmeter selection is efficiency. Lower flow panels enhance efficiency by minimizing wastewater percentage, which results in a drier fog, ideal for applications where moisture control is paramount.
Flowmeter Feed-Rate Options and Suitable Applications:
| Flowmeter Size | Ideal Applications |
|---|---|
| 2-10 GPH (5.8 GPH max net) | Evaporative Cooling, Horticulture, Concrete Curing, Greenhouse Propagation, Mushroom Growing |
| 1-5 GPH (4.1 GPH max net) | Manufacturing Humidification, Wood/Lumber/Paper Storage, Wine Barrel Storage, Dust Control, Static Control |
Jaybird’s Rear-Feed Blade Technology
A standout innovation in the GT 500 is Jaybird’s exclusive rear-feed blade design. This proprietary development significantly boosts both the operational reliability and overall performance of the fog fan. By optimizing water atomization and airflow, this blade design ensures consistent and efficient fog production.
Robust ABB Wash-Down-Duty Motor
The GT 500 is powered by an industrial-grade ABB wash-down-duty motor, certified IP 55. This specification highlights its resilience and suitability for environments where water exposure is common. The motor’s robust construction ensures longevity and consistent performance, even in challenging industrial conditions.
Advanced Hydrophilic Guard Design
The front guard of the GT 500 is engineered with a hydrophilic coating, effectively wicking away water and further contributing to drier operational environments. Beyond moisture management, the guard is designed to meet OSHA’s stringent 1/2” spacing requirement, reinforcing the unit’s commitment to safety. Constructed from stainless steel, the guard is both durable and corrosion-resistant, ensuring long-term reliability.
